hmm..

(in my mind) most of the books im looking for, they are not public,
if they are public , then where I can found them ? :)

What books exactly are not in public?
The only secret masonic books are books that are linked directly to the rituals and only contains a mixture.

Look up Jakob Böhme, Thomas Karlsson, John Dee, AE Waite as a start.

Self-study...hmmm...

If you're only interested in the esoteric aspects of what Freemasonry points followers toward, ritual acts as a road map to just that; when you understand its archaic hyperlinks.

Hyperlink Example: One lecture references "a point to a line to a superficies to a solid... ". It's a direct allusion to Plutarch's "The 'E' at Delphi" (among others). The reference is an 18th century "hyperlink".

There are thousands of them! When you follow these hyperlinks, the world of scholarship opens up for you.

However, if you're studying ritual and Freemasonic writings thinking the esoteric gems are in themselves the value you seek, you're going to be sadly barren in your results. The hidden gems have no value to you other than to say to others, "look what I found!". That's superficial. The true value is in developing the skill set to find, understand and apply these gems to life.

Keep this solidly in your frame of thought: Freemasonry points to Masonry. When you understand the distinction between the two, you get an entirely different understanding of what is before you and which path will enrich your soul best.

Exactly and well said.

The problem is that freemasonry works in a certain way that cant be tweaked.
For example you cant have AASR without a GL as the first three degrees have to be given by a lodge and lodges are under a grand lodge.
Not 100% correct - there are Regular GLs in South America which are "Grand Lodge of Ancient and Accepted Scottish Rite" which confer the first Three Degrees only in the AASR - Chile is an example. When I first saw a certificate from there, I thought it was Irregular... not so. Apparently Chile is not the only one like this in South America..

In the USA too ? I did not know that. Could you tell me which ones in the USA confer the First Three Degrees in AASR ?

Germania 46 does in Louisiana. I believe that all of the lodges in their 10th district near New Orleans still do.

They are still organised under a GL. You cant just jump into the degrees.

As you may have realized, each set of spiritual disciplines exists within the energy field of a sponsoring intelligence. Intelligences that are well intentioned towards humans should release those that are ready to move on.

For example, the intelligence that manifested the Piscean Age, holds humans that have not learned the lessons of Pisces and releases those that have. Of course some humans like to cling to the past and they may remain with Piscean beliefs and mysticism long after they are ready to graduate.

The Intelligence that manifests the kabbalah and related spiritual sciences was most relevant to Earth humanity until about 1000AD. Some time later the Intelligence behind the Renaissance introduced new qualities into human culture.

The problem with your reasoning is that if it where true then about 75% of all mystical orders be useless. The problem is that they arnt. The currents flow trough the ages and still hold potential.
